Would it have a political effect? Yes, probably. Is it political itself? No.

Well if you see a distinction there, then ok. I don't, not really. You're advising a politician to do something which would (which is designed to) have a political effect, and there would be a (wholly predictable) political reaction. To me, saying "that is political" is perfectly appropriate. But obviously you use these words slightly differently.

Because teaching that a fetus has a heartbeat and measurable brainwaves has nothing directly to do with politics.

Just a question: what makes you think this isn't taught in biology class? What makes you think it is even needed for a gubernatorial candidate to get up and say that schools "should" teach this? In short, do you even know what you're talking about?

Like I said, schools already teach biology.

Now, it is clear that you believe this policy is both political and politically unwise. I accept that and strongly disagree.

Noted. Best,

Well, it seems that it is now you who can't "keep up." I will not repeat myself. If you could not comprehend the difference from what I described in post #63, then, I'm sorry, but I do not have the time to serve as your remedial instructor.
